"The accommodations are just part of the story at the Stanford, however. What is also unique about this place is that they actually encourage the guests to talk to each other! I know that sounds strange in these days of impersonalness. But its true." Winetidings

"Place No. 1 was the sprawling Stanford Inn by the Sea, where I curled up by my fireplace in a wood-paneled suite that made me feel like I was in one of those high-end cabins you only see in Ralph Lauren ads." Walking Magazine

"...owners Joan and Jeff Stanford have created the ultimate escape...an inn so peaceful and so all-encompassing that there's little reason to move from the premises all weekend." Sacramento Magazine

"The Stanford Inn's storybook setting is rivaled by only one thing-the food. ...This inn is the perfect escape-even if you just get away for one exquisite meal.... Don't plan on sharing; you'll want to savor every bite." Vegetarian Time Magazine

"I guess that's why the word 'ambience' is such a workhorse word in the travel writer's lexicon. It is often the setting, the surrounding environment and the human element that make for truly superlative experiences and passionate memories that last a lifetime." Tom Wilmer- Five Cities Times-Press-Recorder

"As beautiful, luxuriant and indulging as Stanford Inn is, what distinguishes it in a world chock-full of luxury results is its personality." Horizon Air Magazine

"I had a hard time deciding what to do, once I unpacked. Swim in the indoor, subtropical pool surrounded by lush vegetation? Sit on the balcony and watch the ocean? Go down to the Big River and take a canoe or kayak to observe harbor seals and other wild things? Rent a bike for a tour along the Mendocino Coast, on the back roads or in the sate parks? I sat on the balcony." New York Times

"...what a delightful, personable experience (the Stanfords) and the staff have created." San Jose Mercury News

"It's not easy for a lodge to be both luxurious and rustic, but Mendocino's Stanford Inn by the Sea makes it work." Home & Away (AAA Nebraska)

"If an inn can be simultaneously rustic and luxurious, romantic and invigorating, quiet and exciting, then the Stanford Inn by the Sea is such a place." Newsday
